The use of wireless devices is exploding in terms of the number of devices in use, how heavily they are used, and the amount of data needed to be transferred. Wireless communications utilize allocated frequency bands or “channels” on the radio frequency spectrum in order to transmit and receive signals. Thus, the radio frequency spectrum is becoming more and more crowded. Only one device can occupy a channel at a specific time and location, spectrum crowding poses a growing issue.

There are several approaches to alleviating spectrum crowding discussed in my thesis, along with details of my work in developing an improved approach to the issue.
